The Oesterreichisch-ungarische Bank's 1900 series was printed at the Staatsdruckerei in Vienna, the imperial state printing house that had been producing Austrian currency documents since the mid-nineteenth century. This 10 Kronen note was issued under the dual monarchy's currency agreement of 1892, which replaced the Gulden with the Krone at a fixed rate of two Kronen to one Gulden — a deliberate decimalization push that took nearly a decade to fully filter through commerce on both sides of the Leitha.
The watermark remains the primary authentication feature of this issue, a limitation that reflects how little anti-counterfeiting technology had advanced in Austrian banknote production by the turn of the century.
